The 2025 PGA Tour schedule shifts to Florida for the next four events, beginning the Florida Swing with the 2025 Cognizant Classic at the PGA National Resort on Thursday. While some of the top PGA players are still gearing up for next week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, a signature event, the 2025 Cognizant Classic field does feature more familiar names than last week’s Mexico Open as Jordan Spieth, Shane Lowry and Rickie Fowler are among the golfers teeing it up. 

The latest 2025 Cognizant Classic odds list Lowry as the +2000 favorite (risk $100 to win $2,000) to win, followed by Russell Henley, Sungjae Im and Sepp Staka, all at +2200. Spieth (+4000) and Fowler (+5500) are longshots, and there also PGA odds for top-five, top-10, head-to- head and more to consider. Before locking in any 2025 Cognizant Classic picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS and betting pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up well over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

Now that the 2025 Cognizant Classic field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard from the model. Here are three Cognizant Classic best bets, based on the model, to target:

Min Woo Lee to win (33-1)

The native of Australia had to settle for 48th at the Genesis Invitational, but he played extremely well in his two prior PGA events. He finished T17 at Pebble Beach and T12 at the WM Phoenix Open, only shooting higher than 70 in one of the eight rounds combined from those events. He ranks seventh on the PGA Tour this year in driving distance (320 yards), and that ability to shorten the course bodes well for his chances to contend this week. Now, see the entire projected 2025 Cognizant Classic leaderboard from the model that nailed 13 majors.

Max Greyserman to finish top 5 (+750)

The 29-year-old American and Duke product is piecing together a strong campaign in 2025. Other than withdrawing at Pebble Beach due to a hand injury, he’s finished inside the top 50 in every PGA event this year. While he’s still looking for his first top-five, he did have a T7 against a strong field at The American Express in January. The model projects that he finishes fifth against this weaker field, making him a huge value in the top-five market.

Sepp Straka to finish top 20 (+110)

Straka missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational, snapping an impressive three-tournament streak where he finished well inside the top 20, including a win at The American Express. Overall, he’s finished top 20 in four of six PGA events this year and he ranks 14th on tour in total strokes gained. The model has him finishing well inside the top 20, making this a strong value with the the plus-money payout. Get Cognizant Classic One and Done picks from the expert whose top One and Done pick the Genesis, Ludvig Aberg, won the tournament and the $3.6 million winner’s share, here.
